Different from conventional eye-tracking

Eye tracking is considered one of the best methods to optimize communications such as adverts, TV commercials, packaging, websites, etc.

Eye tracking technology allows you to see how visitors view your webpage, advertisement, or image. In comparison with conventional eye tracking – that uses specialized technology and invites respondents to labs – GazeRecorder is able to track people’s eyes with their own computers at home.

Multiple state-of-the-art tracking algorithms communicate to identify the face, key features, eyes, iris and movements in 3D, allowing for the most accurate tracking possible, even when people move, lighting changes or the face is partially obstructed.

Simple user interface

This application features a minimalistic user interface that packs several useful functions, fairly accessible to a large number of users.

Additionally, installing this utility on your computer requires no special PC operating skills, since no additional or advanced configuration steps need to be taken during its setup.
